well, i just got the codex and am toying with the idea of starting eldar after i get done with my current army(not for a while)
anyway, while trying to make a list, i came accross several tactical questions.
first of all, i am planning on fielding some howling banshees. i was wondering if it is ABSOLUTELY necessary to thier survival to take a wave serpeant. i really just don't want to get a wave serpant due to the fact that i don't want to pay the points or the money to get one. if i just rely on them on fleeting thier way to the enemy, will they make it thier in one peace. will having many members in this squad make them better able to survive. this question also aplies to dire avengers
second: are wraithlords worth it.
Third, is it a good idea to have an indipendant farseer join a unit? i just don't really feel like having a unit of warlocks would be effective. i mean, although they are good in the assualt, they don't really have any way to get into close close combat and i don't really like thier psychic powers. plus, they don't really have any good long ranged firepower.
fourth: i was thinking of including an autarch with a mandiblaster, powersword, fusion blaster, and warp jump pack. my plan was that he could join a squad to support it in close combat, but if needed, he could use his jump pack to jump out of the squad in order to get close to a vehical and blast it. does this sound like an alright tactic.
well, thx in advance to any answers to these problems.
